Constituent Services

The House of Representatives passed its annual resolution honoring the winner of the Super Bowl, in this case, the New York Giants. It passed 412-1. The lone vote. The representative from my home area of Bucks County, PA, Patrick Murphy.

This is exactly the kind of leadership we need. Bucks County’s U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy won’t budge on his allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles, even when high-hogging it on Capitol Hill. Turns out Murphy was the lone dissenter in a House resolution proposed on Wednesday congratulating the New York Giants on winning this year’s Super Bowl and “completing one of the most remarkable postseason runs in professional sports history.”

Murphy wouldn’t sign it. Not a chance. The scrappy congressman, who was a former 700-level security worker, told the Bucks County Courier Times: “I couldn’t, in good conscience, vote for the New York Giants. The only thing worse would have been a resolution honoring the Dallas Cowboys.”

I told this to my Eagle fan dad and he said, "He has my vote for life." There's a draft Murphy for President movement on one of the Eagle blogs.

Murphy is officially unbeatable now, as ridiculous as that sounds.
